2 Maũndũ 4
1 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩakithia kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩa ũraihu wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na wariĩ wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, na mĩkono ikũmi kũraiha na igũrũ.
Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
2 Agĩcooka agĩaka itangi inene mũno rĩrĩa rĩetagwo Karia rĩa kĩgera gĩtwekie, na rĩarĩ rĩa gĩthiũrũrĩ, na rĩarĩ rĩa mĩkono ikũmi kuuma mwena ũmwe wa mũromo nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ, na mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha na igũrũ. Rĩathimwo gĩthiũrũrĩ kĩarĩo rĩathiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ rũrigi rwa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtatũ.
They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
3 Mũhuro wa mũthia warĩo, nĩrĩathiũrũrũkĩirio na magemio mahaanaine na ndegwa, o mũkono ũmwe ndegwa ikũmi. Ndegwa icio ciaigĩtwo mĩhari ĩĩrĩ itwekanĩirio na Karia kau ikanyiitana.
Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
4 Nako Karia kau kaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ rĩa mĩhiano ya ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ: ithatũ ciacio ciarorete mwena wa gathigathini, na ithatũ ikarora mwena wa ithũĩro, na ithatũ ikarora mwena wa gũthini, ithatũ ikarora irathĩro. Karia kau kaigĩrĩirwo igũrũ rĩacio, nacio ciĩga cia na thuutha cia ndegwa icio nĩcio ciarorete na kũu thĩinĩ.
The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
5 Ũtungu wa Karia kau waiganaine na rũhĩ kwarama, naruo rũtiriho rwako rwatariĩ ta rũtiriho rwa gĩkombe, kana ta gĩtoka gĩcanũku. Karia kau kaiganagĩra maaĩ mbathi 3,000.
The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
6 Ningĩ agĩthondeka iraĩ ikũmi cia gwĩthambĩra, na akĩiga ithano mwena wa gũthini na ithano mwena wa gathigathini. Indo iria ciahũthagĩrwo nĩ ũndũ wa magongona ma njino ciathambagĩrio thĩinĩ wacio, no Karia kau geethambagĩrwo nĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai.
They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
7 Nĩathondekire mĩtĩ ikũmi ya kũigĩrĩrwo matawa ya thahabu, o ta ũrĩa mũthondekere wamo watuĩtwo, na akĩmĩiga hekarũ thĩinĩ, ĩtano akĩmĩiga mwena wa gũthini na ĩtano mwena wa gathigathini.
They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
8 Agĩcooka agĩthondeka metha ikũmi, agĩciiga thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, ithano mwena wa gũthini na ithano mwena wa gathigathini, agĩcooka agĩthondeka mbakũri 100 cia thahabu cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ.
They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
9 Nĩathondekire nja ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na nja ĩrĩa nene na mĩrango yayo, nayo mĩrango akĩmĩgemia na gĩcango.
They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
10 Akĩiga Karia kau mwena wa gũthini, koine-inĩ ya irathĩro ya mwena wayo.
They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
11 O na nĩathondekire nyũngũ na icakũri na mbakũri cia kũminjaminja maaĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Huramu akĩrĩkia wĩra wothe ũrĩa aaheetwo arute nĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni thĩinĩ wa Hekarũ ya Ngai, naguo nĩ:
They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
12 itugĩ iria igĩrĩ, na ciongo igĩrĩ iria ciahaanaga ta mbakũri irĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ icio; na irengeeri iria igĩrĩ ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo iria ciagemetie ciongo icio ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ;
[These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
13 na makomamanga marĩa 400 ma irengeeri iria igĩrĩ ciagathĩkanĩtio ta mĩnyororo (yarĩ mĩhari ĩĩrĩ ya makomamanga o harĩ kĩrengeeri kĩmwe, ĩkagemia ciongo icio ciahanaga ta mbakũri iria ciarĩ igũrũ wa itugĩ icio);

the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
17 Nake mũthamaki aatwekithagĩria indo icio kũrĩa gwathondekagĩrwo indo cia rĩũmba kũu werũ-inĩ wa Jorodani gatagatĩ ga Sukothu na Zarethani.
They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
18 Indo icio ciothe ciathondekithirio nĩ Solomoni ciarĩ nyingĩ mũno, ũũ atĩ ũritũ wa gĩcango ndwamenyekire ũrĩa waiganaga.
All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
19 Ningĩ Solomoni nĩathondekithirie indo ciothe iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai: aathondekire kĩgongona gĩa thahabu; na metha cia mĩgate ĩrĩa yaigagwo mbere ya Jehova;
